Özet
The present study investigated the insecticidal efficacy of Diaterra®, a native diatomaceous earth, against two significant stored grain pests, the grain weevil, Sitophilus granarius (Linnaeus, 1758), (Coleoptera: Dryophthoridae) and the red flour beetle, Tribolium castaneum (Herbst, 1797) (Coleoptera: Tenebrionidae). To control of insect pests in stores or warehouses, grain industry relies on synthetic insecticides, but they have significant environmental and health risks. Diatomaceous earth offers a natural and environmentally friendly alternative. In addition, it is safe for wildlife, leaves no residues, and effectively controls pests. In the study, different doses (0.25, 0.5, 1, 2, and 4 g/m2) of diatomaceous earth were applied on concrete and wooden surface. A mortality of 100.0% was achieved for S. granarius on the wooden surface at a dose of 4 g/m2 during the 96-hour and subsequent application periods, whereas for T …
